Best Practice of Measurement Uncertainty in Chemical Testing Laboratories

Introduction

All accredited testing and calibration laboratories operate in accordance with ISO17025 which has, as one of its central requirements, the need to “assure the quality of the result” by validating and verifying test equipment and test set-ups. All accredited testing and calibration laboratories operate in accordance with ISO17025 which has, as one of its central requirements, the need to “assure the quality of the result” by validating and verifying test equipment and test set-ups.

Objectives

    This workshop aims to show how this can be achieved in a practical and cost-effective manner and how it can be used to increase the overall confidence in the measurements made. ISO17025 also requires laboratories to produce uncertainty budgets for each accredited test. The workshop aims to dispel some of the myths of uncertainties and show, practically, how relevant uncertainty budgets can be calculated.

Training Methodology

This is an interactive course. There will be open question and answer sessions, regular group exercises and activities, videos, case studies, and presentations on best practice. Participants will have the opportunity to share with the facilitator and other participants on what works well and not so well for them, as well as work on issues from their own organizations. The online course is conducted online using MS-Teams/ClickMeeting.

Who Should Attend?

This workshop will be of particular interest to engineers working in accredited laboratories, working in a laboratory aspiring to be accredited or those simply wishing to reduce the risk of invalid measurements being produced.

Course Outline

  • Introduction to ISO17025
  • The need to calibrate test equipment
  • Validating test equipment and methods
  • Reducing the risk through verification
  • Introduction to measurement uncertainty in EMC testing
  • Application of uncertainty to emission tests
  • Application of uncertainty to immunity tests
  • Introduction to ISO17025

The course aims to provide delegates with an understanding of the validation, verification, and measurement uncertainty requirements placed on EMC laboratories by ISO17025. It should also enable delegates to implement validation and verification systems and enable delegates to develop measurement uncertainty budgets.
